How good would the Ball side look if they drop in Bradman Best, Simi Sasagi, Jaron Purcell and Harry Croker when they are all over their injuries. You could argue that those are our best 4 under 18 year olds by a fair way.

Well they don't tell us much about junior injuries, but Best was supposed to be back at the start of the season, no word on Sasagi at all, Harry Croker is back on the extended bench, and Purcell was injured in round 2 of Ball and no word on him since. With Best and Sasagi training with firstgrade, I expect they'll come back in Flegg when they are fit though.

Putting 32 points on 4th placed Cronulla is a very strong result. They had the second best defence in the comp, after us, before this game and were largely in the top 4 because of defence, because there attack numbers were terrible.

Souths and the Knights are both undefeated with the knights ahead of points diff. We play they in two weeks time, in what should be the game for the minor premiership.
